The T handle breaks into three parts if needed. Interesting concept... Willing to give it a go.

I assume it is the handle. The bit selection does not seem that interesting, but I have lots of bits.

Hey PelicanPines, do you have a link to that set? I've been scouring the net and am not finding it.
Amazon has the exact set for $39:
But, if you just want the T-handle, Walmart has a less complete bit set with the T-handle for $9 bucks. Not sure if they are the same thing, but they sure look the same:

Be careful which one you buy... some have hidden shipping costs. They pull you in with a $9 cost... with a $30 shipping.

Thank you sir!
I know the OP has made a decision but I thought I’d show a kit I put together to keep in the tool bag that holds my 4 in 1 Bosch instalation tool.
This kit is geared mostly for around the house use.
I fine tuned this kit over the last few months on jobs around my son’s house as well as my fairly extensive pull out cabinet shelf project.

Used a few times this past week... Do NOT get one. The rare earth magnets in the handle fell out. I'm going to fix it myself... (Sad Face)Just bought this... hoping it will become a favorite.

I find it frustrating when someone posts a pic like this and it is assumed we all know what it is. Maybe many do, but I am a greenhorn; put a name or the very least a link.Just bought this... hoping it will become a favorite.

I had the WIha with the red sleave and they worked pretty good. I have Vessel, I was expecting to be blown away. They are very good, maybe I was expecting too much.Greetings All:
I didn't realize what a bottomless pit looking for a couple of bit sets to replace my guys' worn out, incomplete sets would become.
Sensory overload would be putting it mildly looking at all of the current offerings.
Thanks for all of the suggestions. Ended up going with the Wiha 40 piece Terminator Blue Impact set and the Vessel impact ball torsion 30 plus 1 set. I figure when they lose bits, I'll replace them with Wera to add variety.
You guys are GREAT!!! and some of you are truly Bit Obsessed
Replace with Wera? I have the Impaktor set, so happy when I got it. Try to screw a door threshold through wood an mild Aluminum. A #2 Philips shattered, to my shoch & surprise. Got a new screw and new bit, same thing...couldn't believe it.
I have many premium bits, I went with my PB Swiss, They did the job on 5 screws I needed put in. I had a slight fear the PB might succumb to the same fate as the Wera Impaktor (their best). They did the job perfectly with no fuss or wear on the bits.
The Wera were a real disappointment and would not recommend them. The PB I would for sure recommend, and I am sure there are others which should be capable.

Sounds strange that Wera shattered. Wera and Pb Swiss are only ones that have never let me down. Even in Project Farm test Wera came first.

Here is one link
Some members have had issues with the case not being great and magnets falling out.
So if you get one be sure to post what you think about it. It's not that expensive. I'm assuming that if you buy it, it's mostly for the handle and light use on the bits
This one from harbor freight might hold up better, I've really enjoyed mine, but, you don't get the big t handle, but it can be configured as a t handle. That's not as big.
Harbor freight is like $40 though
